Surgical reciprocating saw blades are single-use cutting instruments designed for orthopaedic or oral surgery, where they cut bone or tissue using rapid back-and-forth motion. Attached to a powered saw, these blades feature straight, serrated edges and are not intended for sternal procedures, distinguishing them from specialized sternal saws.
These blades are reprocessed for reuse in a single additional patient application, meaning they undergo cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization before being made available again. Regulation and classification depend on jurisdiction, with requirements varying by country—always check local guidelines for compliance and supply standards.
